Our growth &nbsp;was a result of the work of our excellent client representatives team and helped by our index &nbsp;investing strategy, which outperforms active investment management and created better value for our customers. For example, after 5 years of operations, the \u201cINDEXO Izaugsme 47-57\u201d pension plan is the best performing fund in the 50% equity weight fund category,\u201d continues V. Siksnis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The INDEXO market share of the 2<sup>nd<\/sup>&nbsp;pillar pension management market by AUM increased from 6.6% in the 2<sup>nd<\/sup>&nbsp;Quarter of 2021 to 8.8% at the end of June this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to growth of assets under management, the revenue of INDEXO also increased significantly and was EUR 1,039 million at the end of the first half of this year, some 50% higher compared to the first six months of 2021 when it was EUR 692 thousand. The Operating income before client acquisition and other business projects, such as IPO expenses and the new bank development expenses, was EUR 630&nbsp;482.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur priority is to grow the pension fund customer base and develop the new bank, and through that create long term shareholder value. This is why we keep investing heavily in customer acquisition and will continue to do so, as well as we will be increasing our investments in the build-up of the new bank operation. This explains why immediate profitability is not our focus at this stage of INDEXO business. Our operating results clearly show, that our underlying business model is fundamentally strong, fast growing and sustainable,\u201d says Henrik Karmo, one of the founders of INDEXO and Member of the company\u2019s Board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>INDEXO invested EUR 773 275 in new client acquisition, the IPO expenses attributed to the first half of 2022 were 63&nbsp;927.

As a result of these investments in the growth of the INDEXO current business and its future banking operation, the overall net result for the first two quarters of 2022 was a loss of EUR 423&nbsp;854.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The priorities of INDEXO for the second half of 2022 remain the acquisition of new pension management customers for both 2<sup>nd<\/sup>\u00a0and 3<sup>rd<\/sup>\u00a0pillar plans as well as the ongoing progress in the development of a new bank. INDEXO is currently working on its application for the commercial bank license.
